Ten Quotes That Help Explain The Feelings Of Music Lovers

BY: CAITLYN JENKINS

One of the best things about music is how it says all the things that we ourselves can’t put into words. There’s a song for every mood, situation and feeling. Music is so much more than something we listen to. We make memories to music, we cry to music, we fall in love to music, and I could go on and on. I’ve had some of the greatest but unexplainable feelings while standing in the crowd at a concert or driving down the road while blasting a song. Sometimes I feel as if I can never in my own words explain those feelings that it gives me. With that being said, I decided to share some other people’s words about the thing that helps me find my voice, and I know anyone who loves music as much as me can relate to these ten quotes.

“Loving a band with all your heart is something you understand when it happens to you. On the surface, others can see it as a petty obsession, but they’ll never know the feeling of putting so much faith into a few people on the other side of the world. It’s hard to explain it to them. And they can’t understand why one band could matter to you so much. And you think to yourself, because they saved my life. But you say nothing, they wouldn’t understand.” –Alex Gaskarth

“Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There’s not some trick involved with it. It’s pure and it’s real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.” –Tom Petty
